Item History & Price
The Time of Manby Elizabeth Madox RobertsThe Modern Library1939382 ppPlease see my other auctions for other rare and antiquarian books.Description: Later edition of a book first published as part of the Modern Library in 1935. This edition is the final edition, and is stamped by the publisher "Discontinued Title" in red across the front of the DJ panel. There is also an ink star on the rear end page associated with that decommissioning by the publisher. D...ustjacket condition: DJ is complete, though heavily edgeworn; unfortunately, a prior owner has backed the folds with heavy backing paper.The spine is browned with light chipping to the top/bottom of the spine. The front panel has a 1/6" closed tear at top left. The rear DJ panel shows some light surface staining, though no sign of it penetrating to the actual book.Book condition: Dark blue flexible binding with gilt titling that is dulled, at least on spine. Some thin discoloration along bottom edges and just a touch of shelfwear to the front bottom corner. A former owner has written his name on the ffep in ink, and the ffep appears to have once been folded lightly. Otherwise, no damage (writing, tears, etc.) to the pages. We ship in a box carefully bubble-wrapped and protected so that it reaches you in exactly the condition in which it left us. Questions always welcomed. Thank you.
